Project Gutenberg 2016-03-14 Public domain in the USA. 55 Simson, James 1826 John Bunyan and the Gipsies Transcribed from the 1882 James Miller edition by David Price "John Bunyan and the Gipsies" by James Simson is a historical account written in the late 19th century that delves into the life of the renowned author John Bunyan, exploring his possible connections to the Gipsy community. The book presents arguments suggesting that Bunyan, best known for his work "The Pilgrim's Progress," was of Gipsy descent and critically examines societal perceptions surrounding Gipsies as well as their historical endurance and cultural significance. In this publication, Simson articulates his thesis through a dual lens: first, investigating Bunyan's background and the implications of his family's status as possibly belonging to a marginalized ethnic group, and second, scrutinizing the broader context of Gipsy life in England. He addresses various myths and societal prejudices against Gipsies, presenting them as a resilient people who retain their identity despite significant assimilation into mainstream society. Throughout, Simson emphasizes the need for acknowledgment of Gipsies’ contributions to culture and history, and he urges a reevaluation of the stigma attached to their identity, aiming to shed light on their longstanding place in British culture.
